You need to flash the boot.img of the rom that you're restoring first before restoring. Also, what were you trying to do that cause the phone getting stuck at the white screen?

How do i flash the boot.img? I was returning to the stock rooted rom on my phonethrough a restore and my phone just got stuck at the white screen. SO, i just freaked out and relocked my bootloader, then tried to have it flash the original PH39IMG zip and now my phone wont load that zip. It says its doing it then goes back to the main menu in HBOOT.

fastboot flash boot.img
But before that your first sentence proves that you've haven't done enough reading before you attempted this. Reunlock the bootloader...read this guide how to do it (read it several times before you attempt). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1416836
If you have any questions after reading several times, please ask them in that thread.

Thank you. I tried doing all of that and my phone is still stuck a the HTC White screen. I did everything up to the flashing the VIVID_CWM_ROOT_VER2 zip and it is still stuck at the white HTC BOOT screen.

By any chance is your bootloader unlocked?

1. Make sure to have the zip of CWM on the root of your sdcard
2. Have the phone off
3. Power into HBOOT (power + vol down)
4. Select recovery
5. Flash the zip of CWM

Hey. I tried doing that and my phone is still stuck at the HTC white bootup screen.

Yeah your phone should do that because you didn't flash the boot.img when restoring the stock rom. Get a rom that you want to use and follow the instructions on how to flash the boot and then flashing the rom thru CWM

what do you mean boot.img? I have a rom that i want to use HoliRaider v 1.6. Should i just flash that rom through CWM?

read step three of the superuser guide

Thank you so much!! I have a question about that. How do I "Extract the boot.img out of the kernel file you want and put it in the same directory as your fastboot.exe/fastboot executable"? How do I put it in the same directory as my fastboot.exe/fastboot executable?

HoliRaider has a separate kernel file to d/l

[Q] How do I unroot my phone and get back my initial ROM?

I apologize if this is a repetitive post but I urgently need to know how to get back my first ROM ( unrooted, no cwm or anything ).
Details about my phone :
-Asian? lol I live in a country called Brunei, next to Malaysia.
-When I unboxed it, it was froyo and it had an update to gingerbread so I did it straight away
- gingerbread before rooting
And about unrooting it, do I just flash one ZIP file which removes superuser or something? Can someone link a guide or something? Thanks in advance!

Well, i think this is it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359555

@Nu11eR thanks! Do you know which RUU should I use if I'm from Asia tho?

Try this one:

@tpbklake I can't seem to download it. After entering the captcha ( the thing where you enter the letters you see ) it just refreshes the page when I hit enter. Do you have any other mirror-ed links or anything?

No I don't know of any other mirrored site for this ROM. I can only share what has been shared via the posts on this forum.

What is the difference between the Asia_HK rom (assuming it is HongKong) and the Asia_WWE rom ?
I tried installing the Asia_HK rom and I couldn't get any OTA updates (from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7).
Also, I had to change the language from chinese to english. Basically, followed all the steps given in the tutorial, but it just didn't work .
my main aim of going back to stock was for the OTA updates. currently, am back to Virtuous Quattro RC3.

Hi, can someone tell me which Rom I'd need for the UK? Thanks

Help needed.
I have unlocked the bootloader via htcdev.com and flashed a recovery and flashed a custom rom.
Now When I tried to restore back to Stock rom(from the backup which i took before flashing new rom), It takes me back to recovery all the time after reboot.
I manually flashed boot.img from the back up folder too.
Still it takes me to recovery all the time. I mean, After restoring, It will just reboot and take me to recovery. Even logo "HTC Quietly Brilliant" wont show up.
My phone is S-ON.
I really need to get back to stock rom.
Please help me.

Are you manually flashing the boot.img file while recovery mode, or are you rebooting into FASTBOOT USB mode and flashing it?
When you restore a backup in recovery mode, the boot partition cannot be written to. You must reboot into FASTBOOT USB using the command:
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
You must copy the boot.img file from you SD card to your PC to run the Fastboot command.

You should relock the bootloader first before you flash the RUU by using the computer.

Wrong forum, but try flashing a recovery the proper way using fastboot.

Thank you. I did get back into it using hasoons tool kit.
I Was reading that if you dl goomanager and install the recovery it offers it works, Can anyone confirm?

I've never had any luck with good manager. I've written it off. I use TWRP Recovery myself, which I believe is the recovery you're talking about? I judt download it directly from TeamWin's website.

I feel like a broken record....
In the apps and themes section there is flashimagegui... It will correctly flash kernels and recovery on s-on devices

Same thing with ROM manager. Its just screws up your phone

As Ess said, dl thru TWRP site and flash thru ADB tools. Works a treat

[Q] Need RUU for Three UK HTC One

Ok, so I'm a total noob with android, having just recently converted from my iPhone to my HTC One. I decided to root my phone a few days ago, using Hassoon2000's All-In-One Kit, and everything went smoothly without any problems. However, I decided to try and flash a ROM to disable system write protection because I couldn't update SuperSU. I used this video here
Anyway, after flashing, my phone tried to boot up and got stuck at the "HTC One, quietly brilliant" screen, and won't go any further, but I can still get into the bootloader and CWM recovery. I was told to run the RUU for my phone to unroot and unbrick, so I downloaded the file and ran it. When it was installing, I noticed that the ROM that the RUU was installing was an older version than the one on my phone, and the RUU then gave me error 131.
I'm in a dead end here, I honestly have no idea what to do, but my guess is that the RUU that I got was outdated, so I need a newer version of the Three UK HTC One RUU. Can anyone help me out here?

There is no Three RUU - Three have yet to release it. Which rom were you trying to load? Use the toolkit to sideload the rom in recovery then once you've got your phone working again, transfer the CWM nandroid backup for 3 UK from the page you've just linked to. Place it in your clockworkmod backup folder then restore it in recovery. This will get you back to stock rom if you still want it, not stock recovery though.

The file I was trying to install is linked in that YouTube video. Also, when I tried to sideload viperROM, recovery just said "unable to mount /data" and the sideload failed. I also tried using TWRP recovery to flash the ROM, it said there was no OS when I was trying to reboot.

Use this guide to push a rom to your phone, then flash it in recovery:

Also, you know that you install viper 1.0 first then to the updates one at a time in order? Just checking, apologies if you already knew that.

I did this, and then when I went into recovery to look for the ROM, I couldn't find it, and noticed that it said "Internal Storage 0 MB". Do you think I could have messed up my partitions when I originally tried to disable write protection?

[Q] HTC One (M7) Telus ROM

Hey guys
Question
so im an idiot and didnt make a backup of my TELUS stock firmware on the one, so i am stuck on custom roms instead of sense, which i like oddly.
does anyone have a CMW backup of the TELUS stock rom?
i would kiss you.
hell if you get it i will give you some money for a beer or 2.
cheers!
curtis
:good:

I haven't been able to find a stock ROM from Telus, as I've been looking myself. However, I did find a HTC One Telus stock nandroid backup which will work too; that's what I used.
Let me find the link for you....okay well I haven't made 10 posts yet so I can't post links....Hopefully I wont get in trouble for this.
bugsylawson[DOT]com/files/file/1824-m7-twrp-nandroid-backup-cid-telus001-1296615/
Its a TWRP nandroid backup so if you use CWM you'll have to install TWRP.
Hope this helps!

You can boot into fastboot and then boot into recovery from there.
Even if you don't have cwm installed you can always

You probably have to extract the .rar to the twrp folder. On the computer you need to extract the rar file and adb push the contents to your twrp backup location.
Next time think before you wipe system. Then you won't run into problems like these.
